Question

Which of the following is a difference between plant and animal cell division?

• A. Plant cells do not undergo mitosis, while animal cells do
• B. Animal cells divide once, while plant cells divide twice
• C. Plant cells do not replicate DNA, while animal cells do
• D. Plant cells form a cell plate during cytokinesis, while animal cells form a cleavage furrow
• E. Animal cell division takes more time than plant cell division

Answer 1

The correct option is D Plant cells form a cell plate during cytokinesis, while animal cells form a cleavage furrow

• In-plant cells, a cell wall is formed in the middle in the form of a cell plate by the fusion of Golgi vesicles.
• The cell plate extends outwards and the daughter cells are pinched off from each other.
• In animal cells, constriction occurs which forms a cleavage furrow. The cell constricts until the daughter cells are pinched off.
  

So, the correct answer is D.
